Most comfortable shirt and pants?

Post by Rosenet »

Hello Indy Nation!

I am on the hunt for the most comfortable Indy shirt and pants rather than the most screen-accurate. I've got two shirts: the Cabelas (horribly uncomfortable, I got rid of it) and WPG (looks great, comfort is decent but a little stiff). For pants I have a couple of pairs of random khakis that are decent from a look and comfort standpoint.

So, what I need from the community is input on the comfort of the available shirts and pants. For the shirt I'd prefer 100% cotton, something less stiff than the WPG shirt I have, and probably something on the thinner side but that's a guess. For pants I'd prefer a pleatless option - I know its a SA sacrifice but I'm planning to wear these to the office and pleats would be very out of place.

For the record, I've had a pair of Aldens for about 8 years and they are super comfy but crazy heavy.

What say you?

Well, personally, I really do not like the poplin material that the Indy shirts are made out of. I much prefer a nice twill or broadcloth in my dress shirts. but it's Indy!

I say get a nice twill shirt in the same color as Indy's and be much more comfy...

Magnoli makes accurate and comfortable. They're like a fine dress shirt. They are cut it exactly to your measurements specifications. There a little high and price but well worth it if you want comfortable and perfect fit.

NH, Wested and Todds are comfortable shirts, especially the last two are well within budget. NH are no longer made, but you occasionally see them on the second hand market.

Yes, I once got a used L L Bean on ebay. It is really comfyl I love it. For me the sleeves came up a tiny bit shorter than I would like, but I nearly always wear myne with rolled-up sleeves, so, no matter.
